Double Olympic champion Nicola Adams has admitted she is considering several offers to turn professional.

Adams, who retained her women's flyweight title in Rio, has met with promoters including Eddie Hearn to discuss the proposal.

Adams told BBC Sport: "I've had a few chats with a few promoters and I still need to think about what I really want to do. There is still Tokyo and acting which I'd love to pursue, but the professional boxing world would be a big challenge."

The 33-year-old has been set a deadline of March to decide whether to sign up for another four-year Olympic cycle with the GB Boxing squad in Sheffield.

Were she to turn professional she would effectively forego any opportunity of going to the 2020 Games in Tokyo, despite the relaxation of rules relating to professional boxers at the Games.

GB Boxing have made it clear they will only consider selecting boxers who are fully committed to the GB programme.

Women's professional boxing boasts few if any truly global stars, with the current flyweight number one, Jessica Chavez, having fought all of her 35 fights in Mexico.

However, given that Adams will be 37 years old in Tokyo - making her one of the oldest Olympic boxers - she may consider a professional move worth the risk.

OTHER NEWS: English super-lightweight champion Anthony Upton (13-1) has teamed up with close friend and fellow 140-pounder Tommy Martin in his West Ham Gym under the tutelage of new trainer Barry Smith.

The 24-year-old is the current English super-lightweight titleholder, which is the same belt that Tommy Martin made history with back in January 2015 when he became the youngest ever English champion.

The pair were friends back in 2012 when Martin, aged 18 at the time, first turned pro and trained at the same Canning Town gym.

Anto, along with brothers Pauly and Sonny, were all part of Ricky Hatton’s Manchester gym until collectively they decided to part ways and head back down south to Essex.

Whist under Ricky Hatton’s management, Anto won the English Championship on his second attempt last July, having previously lost out on points to the former titleholder Joe Hughes (13-1) in December last year.

He defeated West Midland’s Luke Paddock (14-2) with a stunning one-punch KO finish in the penultimate round at Chase Leisure Centre in Cannock last July to lift the English title, while Martin defeated Ricky Boylan on points at the O2 Arena to lift the same belt 18-months prior.

English super-lightweight champ Anto, Irish light middle champ Pauly, and upcoming English super-welterweight title challenger Sonny are all managed by Spanish-based management team MGM.

Anto is eyeing his next fight in a month’s time on the Belfast BoxNation TV show at the Titanic Exhibition Centre on November 5th, headlined by Jamie Conlan in a defense of his Commonwealth super-flyweight title.
